BILATERAL COOPERATION

We see unity and solidarity as the foundation of the Euro-Atlantic Treaty. The visit of the US President to Warsaw is of fundamental importance to the cohesion of the transatlantic area, especially at this particular time when we face not only conventional conflicts, but also hybrid conflicts, cyber-attacks, terrorist acts and are dealing with mass migration. One possible answer to the challenges facing the European Union today and the whole transatlantic area is the idea of strengthening regional co-operation, which, where possible and justified, can be realized in co-operation with the United States. This co-operation would lead to better communication between different EU areas, coupling infrastructure, increasing prosperity and improving security, including energy independence. It should, however, be implemented with due regard for the sensitivity and interests of all parties in the Union. President Trump's visit to Warsaw symbolizes the efforts that Poland, in its alliance with the United States, brings to a united Europe and the entire transatlantic community.
